Product Description

Editorial Reviews

"Keil and Delitzsch's Commentary on the Old Testament is a classic of the nineteenth century. It is popular with conservatives because of its theology. But its sharp insights mean it is by no means just conservatives who find it helpful--it is not uncommon, for example, to see it cited in the bibliography of an academic study. It is therefore welcome that Hendrickson have made it available in a lightly corrected version."--Anvil

Wonderful commentaries at a fantastic price. The books are beautiful. The text is clean and crisp. I haven't had a chance to explore the content too much yet, but I'm looking forward to doing just that.

These are wonderful Hebrew commentaries written in English. Since the Old Testament was written in Hebrew. Think it is a good idea to know what the Rabbis know that we have not known in centuries. These commentaries will help us find out. Bought 2 sets one for myself and one for a friend. The key to the New Testament is the Old Testament. These are truly excellent commentaries. Also you get a lesson in the Hebrew language as an added bonus.

The Bible is the single greatest book ever written for reading and studying. It is so nice to have this wonderful commentary on my shelf for Old Testament insight, culture information, and even word study. Thanks CBD for making it available to us at such a great price.

having spent many years with an older version of this great set,i saw the price beginning to go up at CBD and felt i best order it soon.the same commentary is here but has been nicely reset with more contemporary of a format.the bindings are tight and appear that they will endure many years. highly recommended!
